Ultimate Front and Undercarriage Protection for the Land Cruiser 120 with MorE 4x4 Steel Front Bumper – Uncompromisingly Secures Engine, Front Axle, and Steering Linkage!

The MorE 4x4 Aluminum Combined Skid Plate for the Toyota Land Cruiser (J120 series – long wheelbase & J125 – short wheelbase) offers high-strength, extensive protection for the most vulnerable mechanical components on the underside of the vehicle's front. This skid plate covers three essential components simultaneously: the engine (including oil pan), the front axle differential, and the susceptible steering linkage with tie rods.

The Land Cruiser 120 is globally renowned for its legendary reliability. However, those who drive the vehicle appropriately in demanding off-road conditions, on expeditions, or during heavy-duty forestry work quickly encounter the limits of factory-installed plastic covers. Since the J12 features independent front suspension, the front differential housing and steering components are inherently exposed in potential impact zones. An inattentive bottom-out on sharp rocks, massive tree stumps, or scraping through deep ruts can irreparably bend the tie rods or tear open the engine oil pan – leading to immediate oil loss and catastrophic engine damage.

This vehicle-specific 3-in-1 underbody protection perfectly closes this critical safety gap on the underside. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, this skid plate can be mounted completely independently and separately, without necessarily requiring the installation of the remaining plates of the underbody system.

⚠️ Important Compatibility Note: This skid plate is specifically designed for use in combination with the MorE 4x4 Steel Bumper (model OM-Z001). It seamlessly connects to this winch bumper, forming a closed, aerodynamic ramp at the front of the vehicle. It is only suitable for diesel models (3.0 D-4D).

💡 Important Note on Product Images: To show you the full extent of the underbody protection on the vehicle, some photos depict multiple skid plates. The scope of delivery for this item includes only the front engine, differential, and tie rod skid plate. The other skid plates (for transmission, transfer case, etc.) are not included but can be purchased separately in our shop.
